Love how all these guys signed up to have every aspect of their lives stage managed by a senile pedophile because they were mad about having to say Black Lives Matter in 2020

New video Sunday is back at last - this time we look at the rise of Odaenathus, Rome’s King of Kings, and how this Palmyreme warlord saved the Roman East at a time when all seemed lost. youtu.be/TIiPG-enbJg?...

Even assuming that the author’s point holds (it doesn’t) Democrats are still allowed to do things for their base voters! Republicans govern exclusively to please about 16% of the country and we never hear handwringing about how abortion bans alienates “the electorate at large”

Had she done the bare minimum and made perfunctory endorsements she could have stayed in the good graces of the base and been well positioned for the next primary, instead she’s nuking her career prospects seemingly on purpose

Saw a Paxton ad yesterday that was attempting to brand Talarico as “just plain weird” (ironically because according to them he is a vocal supporter of trans rights) and I just want to congratulate Dems for vacating that line of attack in 2024 and allowing Republicans to seamlessly co-opt it

Really cool that tech companies selling tools to check the abuses of other tech companies is covered as innovation but any government effort to constrain the initial abuses is seen as regulatory overreach

Any analysis of the Iran War that doesn't start and end with the fact that an entire cottage industry of think tankers and lobbyists and their friends in Congress were frothing at the mouth for literal decades for this got exactly what they wanted and it failed immediately and totally is wrong.

I live in Texas so have heard this song because it’s played all the time at places that try to signal their conservative bona fides but I’ve instantly forgotten it because its a rote, paint by numbers style country ballad that never rises above genre tropes. It sucks and the people who like it know

#ArtefactSunday – Two ivory Roman folding-knife handles carved in the form of gladiators. The figure on the left represents a secutor, with his distinctive enclosed helmet and rectangular shield. Dated to the 3rd century AD; the gladiatorial type and date of the second handle are uncertain.

Dionysus God: The Nonbinary God of Greek Mythology
Dionysus, god of wine, displays significant nonbinary aspects. Let's explore them further. This is the Venus de Milo. If you've seen only a single classical sculpture in your life, it's probably this one. We found her on the Greek island of Milos, hence the name, in 1820. She probably dates to the 2nd century BCE, though a lady never tells her age. Today, she lives in the Louvre. She's easily the most famous sculpture from antiquity. Her lovely, feminine curves, accentuated by her pose, called contrapposto, made her the subject of admiration for plenty of men, and a whole lot of women, too, I'm sure.

This puts mainstream Democrats in a real pickle. Should they support their incredibly popular mayor or a foreign leader who is best friends with Trump and works overtime to get Republicans elected. No easy answer here

once someone points out that liberalism -requires- that a Rational Conservative can be won over, if only they are nice enough to him, all these articles make a lot more sense he and his are paid to validate to a very specific centrist fantasy: "these are the people we can win by moving right"

It looks like your subordinates are plotting against you. Have you considered: -having several executed to send a message? -cracking down on those whose reverence seems insufficient? -giving slightly more power to your trusted advisor to help carve your will through the miasma of deceit?

Reading about the Russo-Japanese War and thinking about how a traditional superpower ruled by an arrogant imbecile and rendered moribund by its inability to reform thought it could defeat a regional power in its own backyard based on racist beliefs that it’s nonwhite enemy was innately inferior
